Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAntony didn't care and said, "Our family has been abroad all the time, and we have hired someone to take care of the villa regularly. Maybe that person thought we wouldn't cback, so she was careless." Scarlett nodded understanding”. "No wonder you had no Inteconnection that day." As he spoke, Antony suddenly smiled, "You thought | was a bad man that day?" Scarlett looked at him, sipped her juice and shook her head, "No." She just didn't like strangers coming into her space. Even though Antony was her neighbor, she didn't like i t.
Antony didn't ask her any more questions. Scarlett didn't really like to talk to others. Her personality was the opposite of Alexis. She didn't like socializing and making friends very much.
"I'll go sit over there." As she spoke, Scarlett walked over to the sofa with her juice and sat down.
Alexis had a lot of good friends. There were a lot of people here today. Most of them knew Scarlett, but she didn't know them. Alexis had told them that Scarlett didn't like to socialize, so she sat there, and n o one bothered her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMark and Juan arrived here a little late. Seeing Scarlett, Mark gave Alexis a gift, then walked over to Scarlett and said, "Mrs. Reed, you're so early coming here." Scarlett took a look at him and said, "It's fine. | was just ten minutes ahead of you." Mark brought her another glass of juice and said," Mrs. Reed, It's the end of the year. You must be very busy." Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said with a smile," It’s fine. What's wrong? What do you want to do?" Mark touched his nose sheepishly and said, "I heard Alexis say that you bought a yacht." Scarlett thought he wanted to sail on her yacht, so she said, "It's so cold that even if you go sailing, you don't want to swim in the sea." Mark knew she misunderstood him and quickly explained, "No, Mrs. Reed, | will shoot a new MV and I'd like to borrow your yacht for it." Scarlett glanced at him and said, "I don't have the key withnow. I'll give you a phone number. You can call him when you need the yacht." Scarlett took out her cell phone, found out Lee's phone number, and handed her phone to Mark.
Mark quickly marked it down on his cell phone and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Reed." Scarlett took her phone back and said, "Alexis really knows how to use resources." ‘Alexis is trying to cut back the fee on her MV, so she's focusing on my new yacht, which hasn't even sailed yet.' "Alexis is trying to save money for the company." Scarlett said, "Well, it's settled. You can go and play now." Knowing Scarlett didn't like others to interrupt her, Mark said something politely and then stood up to leave.
By this time, almost everyone was here. Alexis asked someone to push the cake out and get ready to cut it.
As Scarlett stood up and walked over, Alexis pulled her toward her. Alexis said, "Lettie, con. | wish | can get the searning power as yours. | hope I'll earn at least a tenth of the money that you will earn in the new year." Scarlett couldn't help laughing and saying, "You really don't have any ambitions." Alexis disagreed with what she said, "Well, | probably don't earn a tenth of the money that you will earn." Everyone here today was close to Alexis, and knew that Scarlett was rich. Although they were curious about what Alexis had said, they were judicious enough not to ask why.
The lights in the hall were turned off and lit by candles on the three-tiered cake. A crowd of people gathered around and sang the birthday song to Alexis. Alexis made a wish and then cut the cake.
